These new ideas help fuel the way they take on the world, with some ENFPs—like Phil Dunphy and Spencer Shay—taking a carefree, off-the-wall approach that lets them creatively express themselves. [53]
  3. 3
    Strong imagination On top of fueling their creativity, the ENFP’s Extraverted Intuition fuels their strong imaginations, enabling them to explore endless possibilities and constantly generate new ideas. They also see the potential in everything they approach. From friendships to job responsibilities, the possibilities are endless for an ENFP. [54]
    • Their strong imagination can sometimes be a hindrance, as ENFPs tend to get stuck with decision paralysis (the inability to make a decision due to the vast number of options presented).
  4. 4
    Good communication and social skills The extroverted nature of the ENFP enables them to socialize with people from all different walks of life. They’re open to conversation and aren’t afraid to actively listen whenever you have something to say. Some ENFPs are like social butterflies, effortlessly conversing with others without breaking a sweat. [55]
    • Their intuitive nature also gives them a deeper layer of understanding, further bolstering their connections with others.
  5. 5
    Authenticity If there’s one thing about an ENFP, it’s that they value and exude authenticity, so they’ll be true to themselves whenever they get the chance. As a result, many ENFPs, like Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender , wear their joyous, loving hearts on their sleeves.
    • ENFPs tend to have a short fuse for inauthentic people. Bold ones, like Pippi Longstocking, will even call people out when they aren’t being authentic.
